                    The frequency of a vibrating wire is \[n\]. If tension is doubled, density is halved and diameter is doubled, then new frequency will be:                                                                                                                                      

    A)                 n            

    B)                 \[\frac{n}{\sqrt{2}}\]     

    C)                 2n                          

    D)                 4n

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    Key Idea: The frequency of vibrating wire is \[n=\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{\frac{T}{m}}\], where T is the tension in the wire,                 We have \[n=\frac{1}{2l}\sqrt{\frac{T}{m}}\]                 Here, m = mass per unit length \[=\pi {{r}^{2}}d\] \[\therefore n=\frac{1}{2\ell }\sqrt{\frac{T}{\pi {{r}^{2}}d}}\] \[orn\,\propto \,{{\left( \frac{T}{{{r}^{2}}d} \right)}^{1/2}}\] \[orn\,\propto \,\frac{1}{r}{{\left( \frac{T}{d} \right)}^{1/2}}\] \[\therefore \frac{{{n}_{1}}}{{{n}_{2}}}=\frac{{{r}_{2}}}{{{r}_{1}}}{{\left( \frac{{{T}_{1}}}{{{T}_{2}}}\times \frac{{{d}_{2}}}{{{d}_{1}}} \right)}^{1/2}}\]                 We have given,                \[\frac{{{T}_{1}}}{{{T}_{2}}}=\frac{1}{2},\,\frac{{{d}_{1}}}{{{d}_{2}}}=2,\,\frac{{{r}_{1}}}{{{r}_{2}}}=\frac{1}{2}\] \[\therefore \frac{{{n}_{1}}}{{{n}_{2}}}=\frac{2}{1}{{\left( \frac{1}{2}\times \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{1/2}}\] \[or\frac{{{n}_{1}}}{{{n}_{2}}}=\frac{2}{1}\times \frac{1}{2}=1\] \[or{{n}_{2}}={{n}_{1}}=n\]
